PREFACE. 



To the Reader : 

Ynu are here presented with extracts from Theological works of 
tho Romish Church, published and circulated with the approbation 
of Councils, and Bishops, and taught as Moral Theology in the Uai^ed 
States, and elsewhere — in the Nineteenth Century. Under each 
extract may be found the volume and page from which it has been 
selected. The Latin extracts are from approved Catholic Theology. 
The accompanying translations are for the people. 

At a meeting of the Roman Catholic Prelates of Ireland, held on 
the 14th of Sept., 1808, it was unanimously agreed that Dens Com- 
plete Body of Theology was the best booh on the subject that could be 
j; c.blished. 

This resolution was subsequently confirmed by another, passed 
saanimously at a meeting of Roman Catholic Bishops, held in Dublin 
m the 25th of Feb., 1810, viz.: 

" Resolved, That we do hereby confirm and declare our unaltered 
adherence to the Resolutions unanimously entered into at our last 
general meeting, on the 14th Sept., 1808." — Wyse's Hist. Cat. Ass., 
vol. 2, Appen. p. 20. 

The Archbishop of St. Louis, Missouri, endorses the Moral The- 
ology of Peter Dens, as may be seen by reference to files of St. Louis 
papers of Feb., 1850. 

It is presumed that Fathers, Husbands and Brothers may, witl 
propriety investigate the Moral Theology winch the Romish Priest- 
hood are authorized to teach their wives daughters and sisters in 
the Confessional.

A POPISH BULL, OR CURSE, 

PRONOUNCED ON REV. AVM. IIOGAN-, FORMERLY A PAPAL PRIEST 
IN PHILADELPHIA. 



" 'By the authority of God Almighty, the Father, Son, and Holy 
Grhost, and the undefiled Virgin Mary, mother and patroness of oui 
Savior, and of all celeitial Virtues, Angels, Archangels, Thrones, 
Dominions, Powers, Cherubim and Seraphim, and of all the Holy 
Patriarchs, Prophets, and of all the Apostles and Evangelists, of the 
Holy Innocents, who in the sight of the Holy Lamb are found worthy 
to sing the new song of the Holy Martyrs and Holy Confessors, and 
of all the Holy Virgins, and of all Saints together with the Holy 
^lect of God ;' — May he, "William Hogan, be damned. "We excom- 
municate and anathematize him from the threshold of the Holy 
Church of God Almighty : We sequester him, that he may be tor- 
mented, disposed and be delivered over with Dathan and Abiram, and 
with those who say unto the Lord, ' Depart from us, we desire none 
of thy ways ;' as a firo is quenched with water, so let the light of him 
be put out for evermore, unless it shall repent him and make satis- 
faction. Amen. 

"May the Father, who creates man, curse him! — May the Son, 
who suffered for us, curse him ! — May the Holy Ghost, who is poured 
out in baptism, curse him ! — May the Holy Cross, which Christ for 
our salvation, triumphing over his enemies, ascended, curse him ! 

" May the Holy Mary, ever virgin and mother of God, curse him ! — » 
May St. Michael, the Advocate of the Holy Souls, curse him ! — 
May all the Angels, Principalities and Powers, and all Heavenly 
Armies, curse him ! — May the glorious band of the Patriarchs and 
Prophets curse him ! 

"May St. John the Precursor, and St. John the Baptist, and St. 
Peter, and St. Paul, and St. Andrew, and all other of Christ's Apos- 
tles together, curse him ! and may the rest of the Disciples and 
Evangelists, who by their preaching converted the universe, and the 
holy and wonderful company of Martyrs and Confessors, who by their 

4 



works are found pleasing to God Almighty ; — May the holy 'choir of 
the Holy Virgins, who for the honor of Christ, have despised the 
things of the world, damn him ! May all Saints from the beginning 
of the world to everlasting ages, who are found to be beloved of 
God, damn him ! 

il May he be damned wherever he be, whether in the house or in 
the alley, in the woods, or in the water, or jn the Church ! .May he 
be cursed in living and dying ! 

" May he be cursed in eating and drinking, in being hungry, in 
being thirsty, in fasting and sleeping, in slumbering and in sitting, in. 
living, in working, in resting, and ***** and in blood letting ! 
u May lie be cursed in all the faculties of his body ! •'. 

u May he be cursed inwardly and outwardly ! May he be cursed in 
his hair ; cursed be he in his brains and his vertex, in his temples, in 
his eyebrows, in his cheeks, in his jaw-bones, in his nostrils, in his 
teeth and grinders, in his lips, in his shoulders, in his arms, in his 
fingers 1 

u May he be damned in his mouth, in his breast, in his heart, and 
purtenances, down to the very stomach ! 

"May he be cursed in his ***** and his****; in his thighs, in 
******* t and his *** and in his knees, his legs, and his feet, and toe 
nails ! 

"May he be cursed in all his joints and articulation of the mem- 
bers ; from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet may there 
be no soundness ! 

" May the Son of the living God, with all the glory of his majes- 
ty, curse him ! and may Heaven, with all the powers that move 
therein, rise up against him, and curse and damn him, unless he 
repent and make satisfaction. Ameul So be it. Be it so, Amen 1"

| The following is the oath taken by every popish bishop on his con- 
secration. It was abbreviated in compliance with a request from this 
country, by tha Pope in 1346, but nothing in sentiment or spirit was 
omitted : 

' ROMISH BISHOP'S OATH. 

"I, G. N., elect of the Church of N., from henceforth will be faith- 
ful and obedient to St. Peter the Apostle, and to the holy Roman 
Church, and to our lord, the lord N. Pope N. and to his successors 
canonically coming in. I will neither advise, consent, nor do anything 
that they may lose life or member, or that their persons may be 
seized or hands anywise laid upon them, or any injuries offered to 
them, under any pretence whatsoever. The Counsel which they 
shall intrust me withal, by themselves, their messengers or letters, I 
will not knowingly reveal to any, to their prejudice. I will help 
them to defend and keep the Roman Papacy and the royalties of St. 
Teter, saving my order against all men. The legate of the Apostolic 
we, going and coming I will honorably treat, asd help in his neces- 
sities. The rights, honors, and privileges, and authority of the holv 
Roman Church, of our lord the Pope and his aforesaid successors, I 
will endeavor to preserve, defend, increase and advance. I will not 
be in any council, action, or treaty, in which shall be plotted against 
our said lord, and the said Roman Church, anything to the hurt or 
prejudice of their persons, right, honor, state or power; and if I shall 
know any such thing to be treated or agitated by any whomsoever, I 
will hinder it all that I can ; and as soon as I can, will signify it to 
our said lord, or to some other, by whom it may come to his knowledge. 
The rules of the Holy Fathers, the Apostolic decrees, ordinances, or 
disposals, reservations, provisions and mandates, I will observe with 
all my might, and cause to be observed by others. Heretics, schis- 
matics, and rebels to our said lord, or his aforesaid successors, I will 
to the utmost of my power persecute and oppose. I will come to a 
council when V. am called, unless I be hindered by a canonical impedi- 
ment. I will by myself in person, visit the threshold of the Apostles 
every three years ; and give an account to our lord and his aforesaid 
successors, of all my pastoral office, and of all things anywise belong- 
ing to the state of my Church, to the discipline of my clergy and 
people, and lastly to the salvation of souls committed to my trust ; 
and will in like manner, humbly receive and diligently execute the 
Apostolic commands. And if I be detained by a lawful impediment, 



I will perform all the things aforesaid by a certain messenger hereto 
Fpecially empowered, a member of mj Chapter or some other in eccle- 
siastical dignity, or else having a parsonage ; or in default of these, 
by a priest of the diocese ; or in default of one of the clergy, (of the 
diocese,) by some other secular or regular priest of approved integrity 
and religion, fully instructed in all things above mentioned. And 
such impediment I will make out, by lawful proofs, to be transmitted 
by the aforesaid messenger, to the Cardinal proponent of the holy 
Roman Church, in the Congregation of the sacred Council. The pos- 
sessions belonging to my table I will neither sell nor give away, nor 
mortgage, nor grant anew in fee, nor anywise alienate, no not even 
with the consent of the Chapter of my Church, without consulting 
the Roman Pontiff. And if I shall make any alienation, I will there- 
by incur the penalties contained in a certain Constitution put forth 
about this matter. 

"So help me Crod and these holy Gospels of God." 

A large portion of the popish priests in this country are from May- 
nooth College, in Ireland. The following is the oath taken by them 
on being admitted to the order of priests : 



ROMISH PRIEST'S OATH. 1 

"I, A. B., do acknowledge the ecclesiastical power of his holiness 
and the mother Church of Rome, as the chief Head and matron above 
all pretended churches throughout the whole earth ; and that my zeal 
shall be for St. Peter and his successors, as the founder of the true 
and ancient Catholic faith, against all heretical kings, princes, states 
or powers, repugnant unto the same ; and although I, A. B., may fol- 
low, in case of persecution, or otherwise to be heretically despised, 
yet in soul and conscience I shall hold, aid, and succor the mother 
Church of Rome, as the true, ancient, and apostolic church; I, A. B., 
further do declare not to act or control any matter or thing prejudi- 
cial unto her, £7 her sacred orders, doctrines, tenets, or commands, 
without leave of its supreme power or its authority, under her ap- 
pointed, or to be appointed ; and being so. permitted, then to act, and 
further her interests more than my own eartiily good and earthly 
pleasure, as she and her Head, his Holiness, and his successors have, 
or ought to have, the supremacy over all kings, princes, estates, or 
powers whatsoever, either to deprive them of their crowns, scepters, 



lo 

powers, privileges, realms, countries, or governments, or to set up 
others in lieu thereof, they dissenting from the mother church and her 
commands." 

Many Jesuits are in this country ; and their number is rapidly mul- 
tiplying. The following is the oath they take on joining the order: 

THE JESUIT'S OATH. 

I, A. B., now in the presence of Almighty God, the blessed Virgin 
Mary, the blessed Michael the Archangel, the blessed St. John the 
Baptist, the holy apostles St. Peter and St. Paul, and all the saints 
and -sacred host of heaven, and to you my ghostly father, do declare 

from my heart, without mental reservation, that his Holiness Pope 

is Christ's Vicar General, and is the true and only Head of the cath- 
olic or universal church throughout the earth ; and that by the virtue 
of the keys of binding and losing, given to his Holiness by my Saviour 
Jesus Christ, he hath power to depose heretical kings, princes, states, 
commonwealths, and governments, all being illegal without his sacred 
confirmation, and that they may safely W> destroyed : therefore, to the 
utmost of my power, I shall, and will defend this doctrine, and his 
Holiness 1 rights and customs, against all usurpers of the heretical (or 
Protestant) authority whatsoever; especially against the now pretend- 
ed authority and Church of England, and all adherents, in regard that 
they and she be usurpal and heretical, opposing the sacred mother 
Church of Rome. I do renounce and disown any allegiance as due to 
any heretical king, prince, or State, named Protestants, or obedience 
to any of their interior magistrates or officers. I do further declare 
that the doctrine of the Church of England, the Calvinists, Hugue- 
nots, and of others of the name Protestants, to be damnable, and they 
themselves are damned, and to be damned, that will not forsake the 
same. I do further declare, that I will help, assist and advise all or 
any of his Holiness' agents in any place wherever I shall be .in Eng- 
land, Scotland, and Ireland, or in any other territory or kingdom 1 
shall come to, and do my utmost to extirpate the heretical Protest- 
ant's doctrine, and to destroy all their pretended powers, regal or 
otherwise. I do further promise and declare, that notwithstanding I 
am dispensed with, to assume any religion heretical, for the propa- 
gating of the mother church's interest, to keep secret and private all 
her agent's counsels, from time to time, as they entrust me, and not 



n 

to divulge, directly or indirectly, by word, writing, or circumstance 
whatsoever, but to execute all that shall be proposed, given in charge; 
or discovered unto me, by you, my ghostly father, or any of this saered 
convent. All which, I, A. B., do swear by the blessed Trinity, and 
blessed Sacrament, which I am now to receive, to perform, and on my 
part to keep inviolably ; and do call all the heavenly and glorious 
host of heaven to witness these my real intentions, to keep this my 
oath. In testimony hereof, I take this most holy and blessed Sacra- 
ment of the Eucharist; and witness the same further with my 
hand and seal, in the face of this holy convent, this day of 

An. Dom." &c» 



OATH OF A LAYMAN, 

Commonly called the Creed of Pope Pius IV. 

I, N. K, with a firm faith, believe and profess all and every one of those things 
which are contained in that creed which the holy Roman Church maketh use of. 
To-wit: I behove in one G-od, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and ea^th i 
of all things visible and invisible: and in one Lord /Jesus Christ, the only -begotten 
Son of God, born of the Father before all ages; G-od of God; Light 
of light; true God of the true God; begotten, not made, consubstantial 
with the Father, by whom all things were made. "Who for us men, 
and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy 
Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man. He was crucified also for us under 
Pontius Pilate, suffered, and was buried. And the third day he rose again accord- 
ing to the Scriptures: he ascended into heaven, sitteth at the right hand of the 
Father, and shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead; of whose 
kingdom there shall be no end. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and the 
life-giver, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son : who, together with the 
Father and the Son, is adored and glorified; who spake by the prophets. And in 
one holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission 
of sins; and I look for the resurrection ot the dead, and the life of the world to 
come. Amen. 

I most steadfastly admit and embrace'the apostolical and ecclesiastical Tradi- 
tions, and all other observances and^constitutions ef the same Church. 

I also admit the holy Scriptures, according to that s6nse which our holy mo- 
ther the Church hath held and doth hold, to whom it belongeth to judge of the 



true sense and interpretation of the Scriptures; neither will I ever take and inter- 
pret them otherwise than according to the unanimous consent of the Fathers. - 

I also profess that there are truly and properly Seven Sacraments of the new 
law, instituted by Jesus Christ our Lord, and necessary for the salvation of man* 
kind, though not all for every one; to-wit: Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, 
Penance, Extreme Unction, Order, and Matrimony: and that they confer grace: 
and that of these, Baptism, confirmation, and Order, cannot be repeated without 
sacrilege. I also receive and admit the received and approved ceremonies of the 
Catholic Church, used in the solemn administration of the aforesaid sacraments. 

I embrace and receive all and every one of the things which have been de- 
fined and declared in the holy Council of Trent concerning original ski and justifi. 
cation. 

I profess, likewise, that in the Mass there is offered to God a tme, proper and 
propitiatory sacrifice for the living and the dead. And that in the most holy sac- 
rament of the Eucharist there is truly, really, and substantially the Body and Blood, 
together with the soul and divinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ; and that there is 
made a conversion of the whole substance of the bread into the Body, and of the 
whole substance of the wine into the Blood ; which conversion the Catholic Church 
calleth Transubstantiation. I also confess that under either kind alone Christ is 
received whole and entire, and a true sacrament. 

I constantly hold that there is a Purgatory, and that the souls therein detain- 
ed are helped by the suffrages of the faithful. 

Likewise, that the saints reigning together with Christ are to be honored and 
invocated, and that they offer prayers to God for us,and that their relics are to be 
had in veneration. 

I most firmly assert that the images of Christ, of the Mother of God ever Vir- 
gin, and also of other Saints, ought to be had and retained, and that due honor 
and veneration are to be given them. 

I also affirm that the power of Indulgences was left by Christ in the Church 
and that the use of them is most wholesome to Christian people. 

I acknowledge* the Holy, Catholic, Apostolic, Roman Church for the mother 
and mistress of all Churches; and I promise true obedience to the Bishop of Rome 
successor of St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles, and Yicar of Jesus Christ. 

I likewise undoubtedly receive and profess all other things delivered, definea, 
and declared by the sacred canons and General Councils, and particularly by the 
holy Council of Trent. And I condemn, reject and anathematize all things contrary 
thereto, and all heresies which the Church hath condemned, rejected, and anathe- 
matized 

I, N. N., do at this present freely profess and sincerely hold this true Catholic 
faith, out of which no one can be saved: and I promise most constantly to retain 
and confess the same entire and inviolate, by God's assistance, to the end of my 
life. 



EXTEAOTS 

Taken from " The Garden of the Soul" touching Extreme Unction, or 
Anointing with Oil ; with the approbation of the Right Rev. Dr, 
, Hughes, Bishop of New York. 

Page 263 (James 5th and 14th), "And as the eyes, the ears, and 
the other organs of sense, are the instruments by which men are led 
to offend Almighty God, and they will, on that account, be anointed 
with holy oil ; whilst the priest applies this holy oil to your eyes, 
your ears, and the rest, v &c, &c, &c, "do you, with a contrite 
and humble heart, implore the mercy of God for the forgiveness of 
all the sins which through thesj respective avenues have made their 
way into your soul." Taken from the Bank of Pope John 22, A. D. 
1316. Those who have denoured a virgin, must pay six gros (seven 
French sous). " Whoever has carnally known mother, sister, cousin^ 
german, or his god-mother, is taxed one ducat and five carlins" (or 
five sous). 

The Rev. "W. Hogan says, in his book on auricular confession, 
page 49 ; " That he was acquainted with three priests in Albany, 
who in less than three years were the fathers of between sixty and 
one hundred children, besides having debauched many who had left 
the place previous to their confinement. Many of these children 
were by married women." 

Pages 213 and 214. "VI. Have you been guilty of fornication, 
or adultery, or incest, or any sin against nature, either with a person 
of the same sex, or with any other creature ? How often ? Or have 
you designed, or attempted any such sin, or sought to induce others 
to it ? How often ? 

" Have you been guilty of self-pollution? or of immodest touches 
of yourself? How often? 

" Have you touched others, or permitted yourself to be touched 
by others, immodestly? or given or taken wanton kisses or embraces, 
or any such liberties ? How often ? 

" Have you looked at immodest objects with pleasure or danger? 
read immodest books or songs to yourselves or others ? kept indecent 
pictures? willingly given ear to, and taken pleasure in hearing, loose 



discourse, &c? or sought to see or hear anything that was Immodest? 
How often ? 

" Have you exposed yourself to wanton company? or played at 
any indecent play? or frequented masquerades, balls, comedies, &c, 
with danger to your chastity ? How often ? 

"Have you been guilty of any immodest discourses, wanton stories, 
jests, or songs, or words of double meaning? How often? and 
before how many? and were the persons to whom you spoke or sung 
married or single? For all this you are obliged to confess, by reason 
of the evil thoughts these things are apt to create in the hearers. 

" Have you abused the marriage bed by any actions contrary to 
the order of nature? or by any pollutions? or been guilty of any 
irregularity, in order to hinder your having children? How often? 

"Have you, without a just cause, refused the marriage debt? and 
what sin followed from it? How often? 

• *•' Have you debauched any person that was innocent before ? Have 
you forced any person, or deluded any one by deceitlul promises, &c? 
or designed or desired to do so? How often ? You are obliged to 
make satisfaction for the injury you have done. 

"Have you taught any one evil, that he knew not of before? or 
carried any one to lewd houses, &c? How often? 

Page 216. "IX. Have you willingly taken pleasure in unchaste 
thoughts or imaginations ? or entertained unchaste desires? TVere 
the objects of your desires maids or married persons, or kinsfolks, or 
persons consecrated to God? How often? 

" Have you taken pleasure in the irregular motions of the flesh?

1 have said in the second place, that 
they are bound under mortal sijt, be- 
cause it is a weighty affair in itself, since 
it is the active cause of quarrels, hates, 
dissensions, and since the party defraud* 
ed of duty is exposed to the danger of 
incontinence, which is a deadly sin: 
hence the Parish Priest, either himself 
personally in the Tribunal of Penance 
(the Confessional), or at least (and some- 
times more prudently) by the agency of 
a pious matron, ought to inform married 
persons, and p.'7>/:icularly married 
women, ol what they should observe 
with respect to this matter. But fince 
Women, through modesty or ignorance, 
not unfrequently conceal sins of that 
8ovt in sacramental confession, it is ex- 
pedient sometimes to interrogate them 
regarding those sins, but cautiously, 
prudently, not abruptly; for instance, it 
may be asked whether there have been 
any dissensions between her and her 
husband; what was the cause — and 
What the effect of them — whether she 
has on that account denied to her hus- 
band what is due to him by the laws of 
marriage. — Maynooth Class Book, Tract 
on Matrimony, p. 482.

Hinc uxor se accusans in confessione quod negaverit de-

petiverit ; idque colligetur, ex eo, quod pctiverit instanter, 
quod graviter fuerit offensus, quod aversiones vel alia mala

A . If in delighting she expose

she certainly sins mortally against 
chastity, and also against justice. 
But if there be no danger of pol-

such delight from mortal sin.

verumtamen non videtur violare votum proprium mere ob

non vovit servare castitatem alienam, sed propriam, sicuti

Does any one bound by a vow 
of chastity act against his vow if 
he be the cause of lechery to oth- 
ers, who are free from such vow: 
for instance, if he advise others to 
commit fornication with one 
another? 

A. He is guilty of the sin of 
scandal, and stands arraigned of 
their fornication ; however, he 
does not seem to violate his own 
vow merely on accounc of the for- 
nication of others, if he feel no 
complacency himself ; because he 
has made no vow to preserve the 
chastity of others, but his own, 
just as a married man advising it 
does not sin against the faith of 
his matrimony. — Vol. 4. p. 360.

An licet actum conjugalem exercere parum ob debitum

R. Negative : quia tunc finis equidem partialiter est inor-

inrertitur ordo a Deo et natura constitutus. — Dens y t. 7. p.

Is it lawful to exercise the con- 
jugal act partly for the due end, 
namely, the generation of offspring, 
and partly for delight ? 

A. No ; because then indeed 
the end is partially inordinate, 
since in part obedience is given to 
lust, and thus the order appointed 
by God and by nature is partially 
inverted. — Dens, v. 7. p. 182.

*Minor Sodomy. — In the fourth vol- 
ume he divided sodomy into two species, 
perfect or imperfect, or minor. 

What is perfect sodomy ? 

Answer. — It is carnal congress be- 
tween persons of the same sex, namely, 
of a male with a male, of a female with 
a female, in whatever vessel the congress 
may take place. 

Imperfect^or minor sodomy is the car- 
nal congress of a male with a female, 
but without the natural vessel of the 
female, for instance, if a man discharge 
his semen behind through the anus into 
the stercoreous intestines of the woman.

that danger be sufficiently guarded 
against, it is not, in the common 
opinion of Divines, a mortal sin: 
yet it is one of the weighted sort 
of venial sins, since it is an inver- 
sion of the order of nature ; and 
in general, that method of thus 
coming to coition must when with- 
out sufficient cause be severely 
censured by the Confessors: if, 
however, man and wife, for some

seeing it is to be detested. But

ful in itself, and because the seed 
may be dropped without, it may 
happen from another cause, an- 
other fault may happen culpa ali-

she can by prayers and counsels 
induce him to have with her a per- 
fect copulation, it appears he 
should be retained ; nor is she eas- 
ily excused if she, without a 
weighty reason, seeks the (matri- 
monial) debt, when she knows he 
is about to have the matter so, 
for from charity she is bound to 
hinder the sin of the man. u But 
she has a just cause for asking it, 
if she is in danger ofincontinency 
or if she ought otherwise to be 
deprived of her right of asking

sufficiently great inconvenience

97. The woman is not bound to 
render the matrimonial duty to 
the husband who has thrown away 
his right by vowing chastity with 
mutual consent. Because if it 
should be so agreed, that he may 
not have yielded his right, then 
instantly it appears that it should 
be rendered to the one asking 
when it is due (per se) in itself, 
and the other may not have fallen 
from her right with a good pur- 
pose of will. The debt is not to 
be paid to one that is demented, 
since the use of authority needs 
reason. — Nevertheless, if one is 
not altogether lost in mind, it is 
lawful to comply with the person 
asking, especially lest the seed 
should be thrown away when from 
copulation no great disadvantage 
is to be dreaded. It is not lawful 
to copulate with a woman who is 
a fool, unless it be known that she 
is barren, for an injury is brought 
upon the offspring. He sins who 
shall unite foolish persons togeth- 
er to copulate, seeing their off- 
spring will lack a proper educa- 
tion. -.'- " '"'"" ~"~"

103- A wife who has experi- 
enced that she cannot hear chil- 
dren without danger o r her life, is 
not held to render the duty, for 
she cannot be obligated under 
such personal damage ; neverthe- 
less she can render it, for it is 
lawful for her to subject herself 
to the danger, which arises from 
her condition, especially if it is 
necessary for the avoiding of her 
own incontinence or her husband's. 
If she always have brought forth 
dead children, many say that she 
can render it, although she is not 
(bound) held, for it is better that 
there should be children, even 
with the sin of the beginnino;, 
than that there should be no chil- 
dren and their death happens by 
an accident, while the use of mar- 
riage is lawful in itself. I think 
we must distinguish. If the death 
of the child should happen in the 
womb, or elsewhere, without the 
act of the surgeon taking away 
its life, and as it appears lawful 
to use the marriage right, although

harder to be excused from a griev-

to be a certain pollution begun 
("as when the finger is moved

of S. Alphonsus ; "I think it 
should be said more probably, that 
vile acts among married persons, 
with the danger of pollution, both 
in the one seeking, and in the one 
yielding, are mortal sins, unless 
they may be had (done) that the 
married persons may excite them- 
selves for immediate copulation, 
because when they have a right 
to copulate, they have also the 
right to such acts, although pollu-

ulation. But I consider also that 
modest acts are mortal, if they

are done with the danger of pollu- 
tion in one's self or in another, 
in the case in which they are used 
en account of carnal pleasure 
alone, or also for some trifling 
cause ; otherwise if on account of 
an important cause, for instance, 
if at any time there is an urgent 
need to show indications of affec- 
tion to excite mutual love, or that 
the husband may avert suspicion 
from another because he may be 
inclined towards another person. 
Sanchez, Bossius and Escobar 
more probably say, '" In the per- 
son rendering the debt, even im- 
modest touches are lawful, unless 
they are such as appear, pollution 
begun, although the danger of 
pollution in another is present, 
because then the one rendering 
(the duty) gives operation to a 
lawful act, to which there is an 
obligation on account of the right 
of asking, who, although he sins, 
nevertheless does not lose his 
right, since a fault may be found 
(se teneat) on the -part of the per- 
son /" To put the privy parts in- 
to the mouth of a wife by chance 
appears to be a mortal sin, " be- 
cause then in this act, on account 
of the heat of the mouth, the dan-

itself a new kind of carnal excess

from mortal sin, because such de- 
light is intimately connected with 
the danger of pollution. I think 
we may truly say otherwise if that 
voluptuous tickling is absent, be- 
cause then the danger of pollution 
is not very intimately connected 
with the delight, although there 
is a disturbance of the spirits, and 
this is indeed the opinion of Sam- 
chez, since he does not there ex- 
cuse the delight with venereal 
pleasure, but only (as he says) 
with a disturbance and alteration 
of the parts without the danger of 
pollution. But because such com- 
motion is nearly allied to that vo- 
luptuoustickling,therefore married 
persons are to be exhorted espe- 
cially that they abstain from this 
Kind of delicate delight." Let 
there be pardon for the things 
Bpoken.

92. If however it should be 
foreseen that pollution will ensue 
from some cause that is necessary, 
or useful, or advantageous to soul 
or body, although the mind should 
be adverse to it, there is no sin, 
go long as there is no danger of 
consenting to it. " Hence even 
though involuntary pollution 
should be foreseen, it is proper for 
1. Parish Priests and also other 
confessors, to hear the confessions 
of women, and to read treatises 
on obscene subjects ; to look on 
surgical operations and touch the 
parts of a sick woman and attend 
to medical studies ; it is permitted 
also to others, to accost, kiss or 
embrace women, according to the 
custom of the country, to wait on 
them in bathing, and things of a

87. Interrogate confessarius utrum quis apud eum confes- 
bus fuerit, poterit plerumque respondere, prout res se habet. 
Quod si clam accesserit, ipsam confessionem celatam volens, 
putant plures, et quidem recte, judice S. Alphonso, frangi 
sigillum si accessus ejus a confessario declaretur, nam gravi- 
oris, peccati suspicionem facile injicit. (L. vi. n. 638.) De 
iis autem quae confitendo declarantur, nihil prorsus dicendum 
est ; ea enim ignorare causetur ; quum nonnisi Dei vices ge- 
renti innotescant. "Homo non adducitur in testimonium, 
nisi ut homo. Et ideo sine lsesione conscientiae potest jurare 
se nescire, quod scit tantum ut Deus. (S. Thorn. Suppl. iii. 
p. qu. xi. art. i. ad 3.) Igitur simpliciter denegare debet 
se ea nosse : quod si aliunde noverit, cavendum ne quid cer- 
tius ex confessione proferatur.

The Seal vf confession. 
87. "When a confessor is asked 
whether any one has confessed to 
him, he may generally reply as 
the case is. If he has come se- 
cretly, wishing the confession it- 
self to be concealed, many think 
and rightly indeed, according to 
the opinion of S. Alphonsus, (Li- 
guri,) that his seal is broken, if 
his application to him be men- 
tioned by the confessor, for he 
may easily cause him to incur sus- 
picion of a more than commonly 
grievous sin. Of the things which 
are declared in confession, nothing 
further is to be said ; for he is 
supposed not to know them, when 
they are known only to the vice- 
gerent of God. " A man is brought 
as a witness, only as a man. And 
therefore, without injury to con- 
science he can swear, that he does 
not know those things, which he 
knows only as God." Therefore 
he ought simply to deny that he 
knows these things, if he has 
learned them from another source, 
care must be taken lest anything 
should be reported more accurate- 
ly from the confession.
